Liv Tyler would consider posing for 'Playboy'.
The 37-year-old actress would be happy to follow in the footsteps of her mother Bebe Buell - who was Playmate of the Month in November 1974 - so long as it would be tastefully done and her modesty was preserved.
Speaking on the 'Watch What Happens Live' after show, she said: "I don't know; my mum's body was so beautiful. I'm a little too shy to be naked. I'm kind of into wearing panties.
"Like I would do it if I could have something covering something. If 'Playboy' still looked like the French one - if it still looked like that, I might consider it."
The 'Lord of the Rings' star recently admitted she steals beauty products from her dad and frontman of Aerosmith, Steven Tyler.
She said: "Today when I go and stay with him, I always have to raid his cupboards because he's got all the best creams. He's, like, a major moisturiser. He'll cover his whole body in oil and moisturiser and walk around the house in a pair of shorts.
"Me, I do face masks all the time. Even when I'm walking around the house."

Cory Monteith first overdosed when he was 15 years old.
The 'Glee' actor - who died from "mixed drug toxicity", including heroin and alcohol last July aged 31 - had struggled with addiction for a long time, and his mother Ann McGregor thinks much of his inner turmoil came from his lack of relationship with his father, her ex-husband Joe Monteith.
Ann said: "[When] Cory was 15, he did a code blue, and I think that was the turning point.
"He had a lot of emotional things he was trying to figure out -- lot of it was he really wanted a relationship with his father. I think when a child gets invalidated they keep reaching even harder. They want to find out why."
Ann - who is still in touch with Cory's former girlfriend Lea Michele - doesn't think anyone was able to help her son, who underwent a stint in rehab in March 2013, at the point of his death.
She said in an emotional interview on 'Good Morning America': "I don't think we have power to change the choices they're making.
"I think with the kind of connection Cory and I had, if we couldn't prevent that situation, I don't have the answer."
Ann, 63, is still struggling with her grief over the loss of her son and admitted it is only now she is able to look at pictures of him again.
She said: "The loss is horrendous. Until three days ago I couldn't look at a picture of Cory... So there's been progress."

Justin Bieber's driving under the influence (DUI) case has been delayed until August. The 20-year-old singer's lawyer Mark Shapiro and prosecutor David Gilbert have requested another three weeks to work out a plea deal on charges he was drink-drivin...

Michelle Heaton is worried she will want more children after hysterectomy operation.
The former Liberty X singer - who carries a mutated BRCA2 gene which gives her a higher chance of developing breast and ovarian cancer -has admitted that despite knowing the hysterectomy is for the best, she still fears she will want another baby in the future.
Talking to Lorraine Kelly on 'Lorraine', the 34-year-old singer - who already has children Faith, four, and Aaron, two, with husband Hugh Hanley - shared: "It's a very tough decision to get rid of my chance of ever having other children and going through early menopause, it's not as easy as just saying 'I've got two children, let's get rid of it.' You don't know how you're going to feel in five years time."
She also revealed that she's struggled to decide whether to remove just her ovaries or her entire uterus.
Michelle explained: "It's not as straightforward as just choosing one or the other because there might be some complications of finding the ovaries because I've had two C-sections."
However, Michelle did add that she believes a full hysterectomy might be the best option for her, but explained that either way she will be on hormone replacement treatment for the rest of her life.
Although undergoing the operation is a huge decision to make, Michelle thinks it is best as she wants to "be there" for her children, and is bolstered by the support she has had from other women.
She said: "I want to be there for my kids, it's just really hard to elect to do that and I've had so many positive responses on Twitter and so many women going through exactly the same thing,
"Everyone who's been in touch, it's helping me through it and it's hard."

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are trying for a baby.
The 28-year-old model - who will celebrate her one-year anniversary with the 'All Of Me' hitmaker in September - has admitted the couple are ready to start a family.
She told Mario Lopez as she co-hosted 'Extra' at the Universal Studios in Los Angeles yesterday (16.07.14): "We both really want kids... we are not, not trying, I will tell you that.
"As we say it's a fun process... it's definitely going to be a surprise, and a surprise we'd be happy for."
The stunning brunette - who appears as a judge on MTV's new cooking show 'Snack-Off' - also admitted that while she enjoys making healthy home-cooked meals for herself and John, 36, she still finds time to enjoy her favourite fast-food treats.
She explained: "I've dubbed myself the soup master. I love making soup. Something about soup makes me so happy... I'm on this tomato basil soup kick, then this chicken soup is really pretty good.
"I cook three or four times a week, I made John homemade chicken soup late last night 'cause his voice is a little sore."
She added: "I love a good Hot Pocket and I love White Castle and I love Taco Bell."
However, the 'Sports Illustrated' cover girl is currently trying hard to control her cravings and get her "butt" in shape for an upcoming shoot.
She said: "I'm working out like crazy lately, I have a big shoot coming up, so for two weeks a year Chrissy settles down and she's in it right now.
"I'm trying to develop a butt."

Uma Thurman is auctioning a private screening of 'Pulp Fiction'.

Nicole Richie regrets her "virgin" tattoo.
The 32-year-old reality TV star - who has children Harlow, six, and Sparrow, four, with husband Joel Madden - got the inking on her right wrist when she was just 16 years old but now thinks it looks "embarrassing and desperate".
She said: "See this tattoo? It says 'virgin,' you guys. It's embarrassing and desperate.
"Now, I am a Virgo so when I was 16 I thought, 'Ooh I'm going to be different and I'm going to put virgin, because the Virgin is the sign for Virgo."
Nicole - who was born in California - went on to joke she had considered ways to modify the tattoo, but doesn't think they'd be very convincing.
She told E! News: "I'd add an I and an A and say I'm from Virginia, but I just don't think people are going to believe me. So I'm just stuck."
Meanwhile, Nicole is an avid user of Twitter and can't believe some of the "insane" responses she gets on social media, particularly as she thinks it is important to be careful about what gets posted.
She said: "Whether its Twitter or the Internet or the world, you have to be accountable for your words - and you have to be careful with your words, because you can't take them back and that's what you're putting out into the world.
"You've got to be careful with your thoughts and your words."

Jenny McCarthy had the "birds and the bees" talk with her son because she worried he would develop a "foot fetish".
The 41-year-old beauty decided to give 11-year-old Evan - her child with ex-husband John Mallory Asher - some information about sex after "accidentally" giving him a confusing message in the past.
She explained: "I just had the birds and the bees talk...
"I kind of knew it was time because I accidentally told him that sex was like feet rubs. And I looked on his iPad and there were 2,000 pics of foot rubs and I'm like, 'Oh my god, he's going to have a foot fetish for the rest of his life!'
"So I just sat down and had the real heart-to-heart talk with him."
The former 'View' presenter - who is engaged to Donnie Wahlberg - admits it was "difficult" having the chat with her son, but she stuck to the basic facts and was happy to leave him "horrified" afterwards.
She added to Us Weekly magazine: "It was difficult ... but being the kind of single mom I've been, I've had to wear two hats and I'm proud to say that Evan will never be having sex for the rest of his life after my conversation.
"I talked about kind of the physical part. I'm like, 'You know how you're talking about things happening?' I'm like, 'This is what your body is going to want to do and it's normal but your body can't yet because you're too young,' and he was horrified, which is exactly what I wanted him to be but I can't even imagine."

Iggy Azalea's boyfriend thinks Nicki Minaj is jealous of her.
The 'Super Bass' hitmaker took an apparent swipe at her Australian rival at the BET Awards last month, when she appeared to criticise the 'Fancy' singer for using ghostwriters, but basketball star Nick Young insists it is because the former 'American Idol' judge envies his girlfriend's success.
Nick told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column: "Iggy is doing big things and that is what is scaring people.
"She is going to brush it off. She won't let it get to her. She is number one -- what can you do? She's at the top right now, so of course they are going to come at you."
At the time, Iggy insisted she was "unbothered" by her rival's diss, but Nick insists that wasn't the case.
He said: "I had to deal with the aftermath of all that, when she came home and was going through her phones, hearing everybody talking trash about her. I had to be there for her."
And the LA Lakers player - who has been dating Iggy for almost a year - does his best to take his girlfriend's mind of the stress of her work.
He explained: "We always hang out and try to get her mind off what is going on out there on the news.
"We go roller-skating, to theme parks and Six Flags and try to have a good time and do down-to-earth stuff. We have sweats on, hoodies on at Six Flags, just us two, and you will never know [who we are]."
Despite Nick's comments, and while Nicki's remarks that "When you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it," were widely assumed to be a dig at Iggy, the 'Starships' singer later denied that was the case.
She tweeted: "The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different... [I] congratulated Iggy on the success of Fancy, publicly.(sic)"
